You're listening to Comedy Central.
Hello, and welcome to the Precap, where we sit down with this week's Daily Show host to preview what's coming up and recap some of the news we might have missed. My name is Devin Delacquanti. I'm a writer at the show, and I am joined today by the Jordan Klepper. Hello, Jordan. Hello, Devin.
Yes. Is there applause on these podcasts? There should be.
In your mind, yes.
There always is. Every podcast they do, there's applause, there's sighs, and eventually there's clicking off after about 12 minutes when they realize it's just another podcast with people talking. But that's not what this is.
That's not what this is. This is the greatest podcast. This is the podcast all the people want. They want to know what you missed, and they want to know what you're not going to miss.
We live somewhere in the middle here. This is about what you're going to see this week on the show, but also what we missed last week on the show. We're sort of in the, we're edging. This is Daily Show Edges right now.
Seamless transition. What did we miss last week, Jordan? What did you miss? What has your week been like?
My week has been being stuck on a tarmac because of the government shutdown and weather that has attacked the East Coast. So this is the problem. When you get to host The Daily Show, you get to sit behind a desk. They put you in a beautiful suit. The audience laughs at your jokes. It's very cushy. Life is pretty good. Very cushy. If you're Jon Stewart, you come in once a week and get to do that. I like that. That's a great job. Great job. Everybody should be Jon Stewart. But when you're not, occasionally, when you're not hosting the show, you go out into the world. You talk to people. I traveled out into the world, and getting back to New York City was an impossibility this week. So I spent a lot of time on the tarmac in Memphis, because the TSA all across the country is understaffed, because it turns out we don't fund the TSA.
We send that money elsewhere, or we fight to make political points. Yes, I've been on the road a bunch in the last couple weeks for some stand-up shows and for daily show stuff, and... And most of my flights have been delayed, canceled. Three times in the last two weeks, I've gone up in the air, circled so many times that we ran out of gas and had to land somewhere else. I spent a day in Shreveport. We landed in Philly. Yesterday, we were in D.C. We went from Memphis to D.C. to New York because the weather is crappy. And also, they have like two people who are working there. air traffic control right now. And they're not getting paid. They're not getting paid. They're doing more work for no money. Yeah, the people who work at air traffic control are not getting paid, so they have to land a plane, then they take an Uber order, and then they go drop off.
They pick somebody up with Uber. They do a Grubhub drop off, get a little bit of money, come back to the airport so that they can land another plane. So it's taking a while. If only there was some sort of way that we could elect people who could be in positions of power, who could negotiate in good faith ways in which to pay other people that help the greater good and our community at large, that would be a system that could work well in a situation like this.
Now you're just being irrational. You're right. I don't think, come on, what are you talking about, a pie in the sky? The pie is in the sky because it has not been cleared for landing. Get the pie down on the ground. We're hungry. Bring the pie down to the ground. The pie is circling Philadelphia.
It's going to be landed.
I'm sorry. Yeah, we're not going to be able to land that pie in New York City.
We don't have a gate for the pie.
Oh, my God. The pie is in the sky. There's so many pies in Shreveport right now just getting gas, waiting to go somewhere else. So I've missed, I've cut bits and pieces. I've missed big stories this past week. I've seen images of Donald Trump being kissed up to around the globe. Regaled, yeah, whirlwind Asia trip. What have I missed?
